When God Came Near :Week dos(2)

Yesterday went well. We are on week 2 of our fall series and theres so much to take in. I do my very best to keep in mind alot of aspects when I'm teaching. One thing is time, theres nothing more frustrating than a message that seems like it's dragging. I do my best to keep it about 20 minutes, 25 the most if not that. I felt this Wednesday I was rushing through the message, but my wife assured me that it went great and all was well. My daughter seemed to agree as well (that's always good). Teaching our kids who Jesus is and what He can do in there lives is very important to me. I feel that God has entrusted them to me even though we just meet on Wednesdays. There simply just apart of my life! They are always in my thoughts and prayers and I can't help but to be thankful and honored that God would use me to minister to them. God is Good! So, Wednesday we discussed the second half of John 10:10. When God came near! Jesus came for all so that we can be rescued from an ordinary life. We needed to be restored to Him in order have that personal relationship(Romans 5:10-11). He wants us to know about His character. It's like when you go to the mall and see the window display. That's very important when you want to advertise what you have inside the store. You don't go into Footlocker and find bean pies for sale! The same is with God. God sent His only son to live with us. Jesus came to earth and say's, "Hey you want to know what God's like, check me out! I'm the window display; I'm the display of God. This whole series isn't just about informing, we miss the whole mark if it is, but rather letting God transform! We learn to live beyond the ordinary and start taking steps toward the extrordinary! Teenagers want a better life, we all do. In John 10:10, Jesus assures that. Peace out!
